What's New in Kidos

3.7

September 22, 2026

Search that works — and a filter that finally knows "history" from something bad. SEARCH • Kidos now shows its own results page: big text, pictures, and only sites that pass strict safe search • Tap "More results" for the next ten • Type a web address to open it directly FILTER FIXED • Words like history, class, butter, document and tutorial are no longer blocked — the old filter matched letters hidden inside words • Links inside results open again • Docs, Drive, Classroom and Maps work; a search typed into Google or Bing is re-run through Kidos instead • Old junk is cleared from your block lists; your own entries stay PARENTS • Favourites are saved on the device and no longer disappear after a relaunch • Manage Filters has a new Allowed Sites tab, with an optional "allowed sites only" mode • If your PIN is still the old default, Kidos asks you to change it Thank you to everyone who wrote a review — you were right, and this update is the fix.

DO NOT BUY!!!🚫🚫

It’s honestly terrible. I don’t know why, but every single time I search for something it either just shows me links that I can’t open or says, “File not found”. The only information It gives you is through links that you aren’t able to open. I was like, SHOCKED 😳 when I saw that it had 4 STARS!! It deserves 1!!! I don’t know if there is something wrong with my app, but whatever it is, I am getting a search engine that doesn’t give me misinformation.

Response from developer

You were right, and sorry for the short first reply. In 3.4 the filter blocked ordinary words and links inside results wouldn't open. Version 3.7 fixes both and adds Kidos' own results page. Please update and try again — we'd love to know if it works for you now. — Kidos team

No way never again

Number one I don’t know why but it’s not good can go on eny websites soooooo annoying

Response from developer

Sorry for the short first reply — you were right. In 3.4 the filter stopped ordinary sites from opening. Version 3.7 fixes this. Please update and try again. — Kidos team

bad

says everything is bad once you search it, like I was trying to find the lyrics to something which is clean and has no words that should be filtered got filtered for exactly no reason

It won’t let me search

I am 13 and can not use google because it is a 17+ and I tried to search up a cake recipe and I blocked it saying that the contend was inappropriate. I would not recommend I would rate this lower if I could.

Response from developer

You were right, and sorry. A cake recipe should never be blocked — the 3.4 filter matched letters hidden inside normal words. Version 3.7 fixes it. Please update and try again. — Kidos team

YouTube

YouTube because you can’t search for that and you can’t say how old you are
